Скачать или смотреть Fail Safe vs Fail Secure Explained: Electric Strikes, Maglocks & Life Safety

A locked door protects your property, but does it trap your people? In this video, we explore the hidden logic of electronic locking hardware. We explain the difference between Fail Safe (unlocks when power is cut) and Fail Secure (stays locked), and why getting this wrong can create a "death trap" during a fire.

We compare the three main types of locks: Electric Strikes (Cheap but prone to "Preload"), Maglocks (Strong but require complex safety exits), and Electrified Levers (The expensive, elegant solution). Learn the strict Life Safety Codes (No Special Knowledge, One Motion) that every installer must know.
